TROY -- Concerns the city of Troy had with the McDonald's plan for the corner of Hoosick and 15th streets have been addressed as best they can, said Bill Dunne, commissioner of the city's planning commission. A vote on the matter is expected either this Thursday or next month, when it is expected, according to multiple sources, that the project will be approved.

The proposal was first introduced in the spring of 2011 and has seen multiple changes since then. Most recently, it was decided that a green arrow would be included at the intersection for westbound traffic on Hoosick to take a left on to 15th Street.

"My concern from the start has been traffic," said Dunne. He noted that Bohler Engineering, which is handling the project, hired an independent traffic firm that "did not give a ringing endorsement but said it would not have a major impact."

It is expected that the extra property and sales taxes from the McDonald's would be in the low six figures range, said Dunne.

Though a vote still needs to occur, multiple sources say that the project will likely be approved. With the planning commission's possible blessing, the project would have received all city approvals and construction could begin.

"Concerns that we had have been addressed as best as they can," Dunne added.

The 3,800 square foot fast-food restaurant would include the first electric car charger station at a McDonald's in the northeast, a patio, and bike rack. The site would employ about 60 people.

Over the course of planning, a second lane around the building was added to improve traffic flow for the drive-thru. Green space was also added to beautify the Hoosick Streetscape with trees.

Though there had been concerns with the project not conforming to the corridor's zoning overlay, many thought that the restaurant proposal still could be done with adjustments to the project.

At a meeting in May, commission chair Barbara Nelson felt the best buffer would be moving the building closer to the corner, away from residential areas. The residents at 2345 15th St. said at the same meeting that the site plan at the time was not working. Another commission member on the five-member board said the plan was "awful tight."

Dean Colley, the proposed franchisee of the site, said this would go above and beyond other McDonald's restaurants and "bring a lot to the community."

At Thursday's meeting, which is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. at city hall, a Dunkin Donuts at the corner of 3rd and Congress streets will also be discussed, said Dunne.
